We have built lasting relationships with both attendees and other vendors that have allowed us to expand our network and take on many new clients. The visibility that even the Bronze package of sponsorship ads to our representation at the show has been a great value to our team. We love feeling fully integrated into the show, from the tickets to the signage. ThermaCote, Inc. hopes to continue to enjoy the benefits of the Build Expo group of tradeshows many more times over the next few years."

*Exhibitor in Dallas 2021 "JobGearRentals.com is a new company in DFW and we planned our Grand Opening around the March 2020 Dallas Build Expo. After a few Covid reschedules and a venue change, the Dallas Build Expo turned out to be a great show for us. As a result, we sold a brand new Husqvarna compaction machine, got many solid leads for future rental customers and formalized relationships with several other businesses that will be able to broaden our customer base. We look forward to coming back to the 2021 Dallas Build Expo...maybe they will give awards for the best looking booth next year! ;)."

Albert Abad, President | Affinity Painting Company, Inc.
*Exhibitor in LA 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 Affinity Painting Company "The construction industry has been my career for more than the last decade. Developing business and learning about new materials is a must to stay relevant in the industry. As the needs for construction evolved, as did my ideas to revolutionize and simplify a mass marketplace of GC’s, Sub’s and materials. I decided to create ConstructionBuilds.com to serve as an online resource for construction. The initial phase will allow GC’s and Sub’s to connect. Thanks to Build Expos Atlanta, Tampa, and Houston, I was able to market my idea to thousands of industry leaders thirsty for new technology. Build Expo USA allowed me to research exactly what the industry would adapt to and the more immediate needs. Stay tuned to see the CB App in both your IOS and Android app stores coming in 2020."

Michelle Cox, Founder and CEO | Construction Builds.
*Exhibitor in Atlanta 2018 | Tampa 2018 | Houston 2018 ConstructionBuilds.com "As a Software training service, it is critical to keep up to date with the latest trends, services, and products in the industry. As a small business owner, marketing efforts must be focused and effective. The Build Expo has a wide variety of services and attendees from multiple disciplines and backgrounds which provide a rich array of knowledge and experience in one place. With the ability and time to attend a limited number of expos each year, the Build Expo has become a cornerstone of my company’s marketing efforts. The discovered relationships, new-found technologies, and predictable interaction with new and existing clients has an exponential marketing and educational payoff. A must for me and my business."

Darrell Smith, AIA, CDT, Owner | The Mendicant Architect, LLC
*Exhibitor in Austin 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 "2019, was our first year at the Build Expo, but it will not be our last! We received great leads, new customers, new leads, as well as valuable partnerships that have helped grow our business exponentially in just the 3 ½ months since the show. We were able to showcase our services to potential customers in a creative and effective face to face manner, all in ease as the Build Expo team helped us along the way, allowing us to have fun and focus on the important part – our customers!"

Kirsten Koryciak, Owner | TREX Aerial Images
*Exhibitor in Houston 2019, 2020 TREX Aerial Images "I have found that the payoff of exhibiting at Build Expo is pretty short. My company has picked up at least two really good possible clients from exhibiting. The Tampa show has already gotten orders, as well as follow up work. My focus is picking up a client, over an order. So far, indications are that it is definitely worth the investment."


Carl Campbell, Owner | Alliance Textiles
*Exhibitor in Tampa 2019, Dallas 2020 Alliance Textiles "My organization attended the Builders Expo for the first time this year. We enjoyed working with the team at Build Expo. They helped us all along the way. Very helpful and would reply to all of our questions promptly. We definitely enjoyed meeting potential new vendors to work with in the future. What I really liked was getting to know other local vendors and networking with them. You never know whos services you may need in the future."


George Partida, Houston Operations Manager | Any Lab Test Now
*Exhibitor in Houston 2019 | Austin 2020 | Dallas 2020 Any Lab Test Now "Atlanta Build Expo show turned out to be a spectacular success for H2O Barrier Technologies. We met with industry architects, engineers, specifiers and major builders.

Because Atlanta Build Expo marketed correctly we saw exactly who we needed to see. We had lines waiting to talk to us. Serious chemists even showed and waited patiently and listened. This tradeshow was very important to us as we needed to gleen insights from those who write up which products to use and understand how our new Posibond science would be received. We will be scheduling luncheon learns, taking questions, and looking into business partnerships or licensing options in the near future."
